Family Walks and Hikes is an exciting series of books written
specifically for outdoor enthusiasts of all ages and abilities. These
accurate, attractive guides feature expertly curated routes, informative
maps, and colour photographs.
Andrew Nugara's second book for families looking to experience the
splendour of the Canadian Rockies describes additional trips in Bragg
Creek, Banff, and Kananaskis that were not included in Volume 1 due to
redevelopment of these hiking hotspots since the dramatic Alberta floods
of 2013. As well, Volume 2 includes several new areas for family
exploration, including Moraine Lake, Yoho, the north section of Highway
93 North, and Jasper. Some of the comfortable walks and spectacular
hikes in this new volume are:
Forgetmenot Ponds
Nihahi Ridge
King Creek Canyon
Canadian Everest Trail
Picklejar Lakes
Yamnuska
Ha Ling Peak
Sunshine Meadows
Paget Peak Lookout
Takakkaw Falls
Parker Ridge
Athabasca Glacier
Sunwapta Falls
Maligne Canyon
Ranging from charmingly easy to moderately challenging, all of these
hikes are accessible from reliable roads and popular staging areas. In
addition, each hike is accompanied by a clear, colourful map, step by
step directions, and full-colour photographs. Each route includes:
detailed directions to trailheads
colour maps and photographs
seasonal information
round-trip distances
trail commentary
difficulty ratings
